You’ve done a very good job of highlighting “Tasteful” (art) vs. “Gaudy” (not art).
The artistic examples: Painstaking work, and the time it must have taken to do that is clearly evident in the work.
And the others? Well, if you have a lot of money and a big electro-plating tub, have fun.
I guess the ‘porn’ in this case is another example of - Because I can.
Wouldn’t buy a pink (or any other color) gun either.
But that’s just me.
Tasteless? Yes. Valuable? HELL yes. As for pink guns, my wife wanted one. So I got her one. Anything that she will use to preserve herself is good by me. Charter Arms makes a pretty damn good low cost weapon. I like the “Goldfinger” myself.
